(This is a quick morning post )
Had very heavy rains last night. The heaviest I've experienced so far and the sea turned nasty again with a large swell. Not much sleep at night again as the radar alarm went off around 6.00 GMT. At about 9.00 GMT I made contact over the VHF with the Captain of a tanker heading for North America. The first sign of humanity after 50 days. The Captain gave me the 72 hr weather forecast that states 35-40 knot winds and wave heights of 5-6 meters.
Here are some photos from this morning.
Well..off to secure everything on deck and brace for a rough weekend ahead.
